HALYARD Surgical Gloves Latex Sterile Size 5.5 XS - Comfortable Fit

Our review of the HALYARD Surgical Gloves finds them best suited for surgical teams and clinicians who need a dependable, sterile outer glove that balances protection with tactile sensitivity. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of DERMASHIELD Technology for easy damp or dry donning and the glove's comfortable fit, which keeps the hands nimble during lengthy procedures. These gloves are supplied as individually wrapped pairs and are designed for single or double-gloving environments, making them a practical choice when consistency, sterility, and reliable instrument control matter.

Key Features

• Sterile, individually wrapped pairs: Each pair is packaged for sterile field use and convenient intraoperative changes without compromising sterility.
• DERMASHIELD Technology: Facilitates fast and reliable donning on damp or dry hands so glove changes are smoother during procedures.
• Comfortable fit and tactile sensitivity: The latex construction and cut provide excellent instrument control and feel for delicate surgical tasks.
• Suitable for double gloving: Designed to work as an outer glove in a double-gloving setup without excessive bulk or loss of dexterity.
• Standard surgical thickness: Offers protection expected in surgical settings while maintaining flexibility for lengthy procedures.
• High quality control: Manufactured to an AQL for pinholes of 0.65, a stricter tolerance than many standard surgical gloves.

Who It's For

The HALYARD Surgical Gloves are for surgeons, operating room staff, and procedural clinicians who require sterile, disposable latex gloves with reliable fit and feel. They work well when an outer glove is needed for double gloving or when frequent intraoperative donning and doffing are part of the workflow.

Those who should look elsewhere include users with latex allergies or facilities that mandate non-latex materials; the product is latex-based and thus not suitable for latex-sensitive patients or staff. Also, if ultra-thin microtactile gloves are required for non-surgical precision tasks, a specialist ultra-thin glove may be preferable.
